Yesterday's Torchwood/BBC America panel was only slightly less rambunctious than the Jekyll session when writer-creator Steven Moffat cheerfully slagged NBC over the American version of Coupling. John Barrowman, the Torchwood lead, seemed to relax as the panel progressed.

Torchwood, a spin-off of the enormously popular British Dr. Who series, is a Cardiff Wales-based crime fighting unit that battles sewer-dwelling aliens. Barrowman plays Captain Jack Harkness, a cheeky character on Who that takes a serious turn on Torchwood.
